The Kintsugi Bowl Experience (Solo or Partner)
Sunday, March 26th, 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM
In Studio
This full day workshop is inspired by the teachings of Kintsugi, the Japanese philosophy which states that “the value of an object is not in its beauty, but in its imperfections.” The bowl represents the self and perhaps even society being transformed into something new. We honor our uniqueness, our beauty, our story.
Participants will engage in an intermodal process that blends ritual, writing, and visual art. The process of bonding, breaking, painting, repairing, and sharing will be held in compassionate confidentiality.
This Kintsugi Bowl Experience is designed for both partnered and solo participants. Partners will be provided a larger, shared bowl to break and reassemble together. Register to engage the process individually (with your own bowl) or in pairs with a friend, a partner, a colleague (shared bowl). No experience required.
Cost: $125 per person (materials included)

“Stir together the ingredients of your imagination and intuition with a few powerful, cut-out images, and you can create your first SoulCollage® card. After that you will probably want to make a second, a third, and, over time, many more. Gradually you can create your deck of very personal cards….they will help you explore your Soul, your shadow, and your inborn gifts.”
—Seena Frost
